Pioneer Gold 1.10 & 2.05 Controller Technical Guide
1-10
General
Correct wiring of the Pioneer Gold Controller and its Electric Heat
Board, if applicable, is the most important factor in the overall
success of the controller installation process. In general, most
Pioneer Gold Controllers are factory installed and wired at the
AAON
®
factory. Some of the following information may not apply
to your installation if it was pre-wired at the factory. However, if
troubleshooting of the controller is required, it is a good idea to be
familiar with the system wiring.
The Pioneer Gold Controller dimensions are 8” x 5.5”. The Electric
Heat Board dimensions are 3.5” x 3.5”.
Electrical & Environmental
Requirements
The Pioneer Gold Controller and Electric Heat Board must be
connected to a 24 VAC power source of the proper size for the
calculated VA load requirements. All transformer sizing should be
based on the VA rating listed in
Table 3

WARNING:
When using a single transformer to power more
than one controller or electric heat board, the
correct
polarity must always be maintained be-
tween the boards. Failure to observe correct
polarity will result in damage to the Pioneer Gold
Controller and Electric Heat Board.
